Plans for newborn visitors?

Question

Hey ladies! 
Curious to what everyone’s plans for visitors are after baby comes? Obviously it’s a wacky year & everyone is handling it differently.  I’m calling pediatrician today to ask if they have any guidelines. And I’m writing out a plan so that everyone on same page ahead of baby coming. 
So what are some of your plans/ rules for visitors??

Answer

I’m letting my parents and husband’s parents only come visit at the house.  They all have their Whooping cough and flu vaccination.  They’ve agreed to no kissing

Answer

I don’t want no one outside of me and my husband and our parents holding him for the first week. Wash your hands, if you can wear a mask, of course dont kiss baby. Of course if you’re sick at all don’t come around at all. 
I dont know I’m not too worried, I had my last one during flu season as well and I know covid is happening now but I don’t want to be extremely strict with everything haha

Answer

Immediate family only and they must wear masks! We are doing no holidays this year, which sucks, but hopefully it’s only one year we are doing this for! 
We still want to share this experience with our family, and we have very understanding family members who have no issues following our wants and needs!

Answer

We’re doing no visitors besides grandparents.

Answer

I have been fighting with my husband about this. His mom and sister just recovered from COVID. I’m upset and don’t know what to do. I don’t want us to be alone.

Answer

We are not in an area where it’s bad. We are planning to still attend holiday gatherings but I’ll be wearing her and only immediate family will be allowed to hold her if they aren’t sick and wash their hands first. No kissing. For home visits when we first get there, it’ll only be my parents, his parents and grandparents, and my great aunt and uncle who watch my son anyway and will be with our son. Probably my best friend as well...she is at our house a lot anyway. Lol

Answer

Well, my fiance and I live together with his parents. They are older, in their 70s but his mom still works. We are making sure everyone is up to date on their shots and vaccinations, and allowing them to see her. However, I'm not sure how I feel about her being held by them right now. I kind of just want her to myself and fiance for the first couple of weeks which will be hard to manage considering we all live together. Definitely no kissing, no face smooches, nothing like that. Maybe they need to wear a mask too? I'm not sure honestly. Maybe my fiance and I need to have a more in depth talk and agree on something together and stick to it. That might be better to manage before she gets here and share those rules with them both. No outside visitors until she gets all of her shots.

Answer

MIL and both sister-in-law’s until baby is fully vaccinated...and that’s with no kisses. After that family will be permitted however no more than 2people at a time and they can’t stay longer than 2 hours and they have to call because I don’t want tooo many visitors on the same day, mama got to relax too. Masks to be worn and sanitizer at the door. If you seem slightly sick eg. runny nose  you won’t be allowed in. Everyone else that is not family can wait until spring.

Answer

We're going to act just as we would whether COVID was a factor or not. Only close family will see the baby and only people with tdap shots. It will likely be my parents, in laws and SIL/BIL who see the baby within the first week or so. Hands washed. Not coming if they're sick. My brother's might not see the baby until Thanksgiving but that's really up to them and that's only due to distance/work.

Answer

Our parents and siblings will be around. My mom watches my daughter and will have her while I’m in labor and just to let my daughter get away from the new baby fuss from time to time. Idk about masks but obviously hand washing and such. No sickness and I don’t want him passed around. Not too many people all around all at once or just to overwhelming in general. I had my daughter on New Year’s Day so flu season and it was pretty much the same.
